Happy New Year, Songbird Family!

We kicked off tooling for the Ultimate Hamper!  After working meticulously to finalize all design elements, the factory is now working on building the tools needed to mass produce the Ultimate Hamper.  This represents an incredible milestone. We’re grateful to all the engineers and designers we’ve worked with to get to this point. We’re still on track to begin deliveries around June 2025.

In the rendering above, you’ll notice a new feature.  The top rear of the bin has two cutouts that serve as additional handles with which to lift and maneuver the Ultimate Hamper, especially when it’s heavy and full of laundry.  

Thank you again for all your continued support.  This new year is off to a great start for Songbird!

Yours Truly,

Hello Songbird Family!

My husband and I recently took a trip to Wisconsin for a factory tour. We are proud to announce that the Ultimate Hamper will be made in the USA!

Stay tuned for further updates as we move forward to bringing this product to life and into your home!

Yours Truly,

Tina

Hello Songbird Family,

We're excited to share this update about the Ultimate Hamper.  One of the most unique features is the rotating handlebar.  We've finalized the mechanism behind its rotating function, and it's pretty snappy. :)  The pivot point now has easy to use buttons that allow the bar to be raised and lowered with ease.  

While this prototype demonstrates the function, the color of the manufactured product is not represented here.  But we can't wait for you to feel how easy it is to raise and lower the bar.

Also, stay tuned for our next blog post where we'll give you a tour of the factory that will be producing your hamper!  In two weeks, we'll be doing a site visit at a U.S. based factory.  We're proud to be manufacturing here in America!  Until then, happy laundering!

Yours Truly,

Tina

Hello Songbird Family!

Things are moving along as we move closer to getting the Ultimate Hamper out to you.  Before putting a rubber stamp on the final manufacturing design, we wanted to ensure optimal function of the updated handle bar system.  So we're currently creating another prototype of the rotating mechanism before going into production.  It's exciting to see it all coming together!  We're so grateful for your patience as we work hard to bring this product to life.

Also, we wanted to share that we were contacted by a casting producer from Shark Tank and invited to audition for the show.  We were thrilled and nervous at the same time.  But mostly, we were honored.  What an incredible validation to get the attention of the nation's biggest TV program focused on entrepreneurship.  So we put together an audition video, provided all requested information and crossed our fingers. It was a long and arduous process, and although we didn't make it to the final round, we learned a lot throughout the process.  Hopefully, as we move closer to manufacturing and get the product into customers' hands, we might be invited back.  Until next time...

Yours Truly,

Tina
